In the kitchen, licorice root powder adds depth to desserts, spice blends, teas, and syrups. It's also used in savory dishes and herbal drinks for its unique flavor that's naturally sweet without added sugar.

Traditionally, licorice root has a long history of use in herbal preparations. It contains glycyrrhizin, a naturally occurring compound.

Fragrant and versatile — Ameen Foods Licorice Root Powder is a timeless ingredient that bridges flavor and tradition in one simple form.

How to use it
Whisk a quarter to half a teaspoon into a cup of hot water or a herbal blend to sweeten it without sugar, then strain through a fine sieve if you prefer it clear. The powder also goes into spice blends, into a five-spice style mix, and into baked goods where a gentle sweetness is wanted. It is markedly sweet, so measure rather than pour. Technique tip: make a slurry with a spoonful of cold water first, since the fine root powder otherwise floats in a stubborn raft on hot liquid.
